So, the good news: you can now sign up for the World of Warcraft final stress test!
The bad news: you have to do it through www.fileplanet.com, which means paying at least seven or eight bucks for a membership to the site. They make it look like you have to pay at least sixteen bucks for ninety days, but if you poke around you may be able to find alink to a cheaper signup, for seven or eight bucks. Try refusing their initial offers and see if they give you the cheap rate to lock you in; or try signing up from their main page instead of signing up through their WoW pages.
The worse news: they somehow didn't anticipate that they'd get a metric crapload of site traffic with this beta signup, and so they're really far behind on processing the signups. It was three hours after I signed up that I received email confirming my account, and now it's six hours later and I still haven't received the code that'll let me actually download the beta.
The good news again: if you aren't as much of a Blizzard crackhead as I am, you can save your money and wait a week, and the Open Beta will begin.
ANyone else a Blizzard crackhead like me?

. I stayed up till a little after midnight, feverishly stabbing my finger at the "Send/Receive Mail" button, waiting for the stress-test invite. Finally I went to bed, where i tossed and turned until around four in the morning, when I couldn't take it any longer and got up and went to check my email again--and discovered the invitation had come in about thirty seconds after I'd gone to bed the first time.
